Midylos the Pirate

Midylos the Pirate (died 431 BC) was a Greek pirate from Malis during the 5th century BC. In 431 BC, he and his crew attacked several Spartan ships in the Malian Gulf off Thermopylae, so the mercenary Kassandra and the crew of the Adrestia decided to bring the pirates to battle. Kassandra fought Midylos until he fell into the sea and drowned, and her crew plundered his ship.
